Scripture Blog

This weblog is my personal online scripture journal. I try to read the scriptures each morning as I exercise on my cross-trainer. It has a great impact on my life and my testimony of the Savior and his restored church. The journal is really for my own benefit but I have set it up as a web log in hopes to benefit anyone else that may be interested. "For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost..." 1 Nephi 10:19

2 Nephi 7

My thoughts this morning are the questions asked of Israel by the Savior, as Isaiah writes -

"...Have I put thee away, or have I cast thee off forever? For thus saith the Lord: Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement? To whom have I put thee away, or to which of my creditors have I sold you? Yea, to whom have I sold you?..."  (Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 7:1)

The Savior answers His own question -

"...Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.
2 Wherefore, when I came, there was no man; when I called, yea, there was none to answer."  (Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 7:1 - 2)

Obviously, the Jews rejected Him.  He then also asks -

"...Who is among you that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness and hath no light?"  (Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 7:10)

Obviously no one.  If we follow His prophets, we will walk in the light.
